Prohibition doesnt work. Today marijuana is not exceppted by our government system and is illegal. But people do not seem to care because if you walk through most towns and ask for marijuana, your are able to get it within 30min.

Alcoholl makaing helps our socioty by creating jobs and making profit off of it because so many people drink.

yes but it also caused a war which killed thousands of Americans. i think that it distroyed our country

The government over exaggerated on how other countries were so bad and what they were doing even though it wasn't.

yes they found out and then wanted nothing to do with it. If they had know what it was like before the go into it. they wouldnt have even bothered.

i think that slavery was one of the worst things that happened in America.

i think that we should worry about our own problems before helping other countries. all the millions of dollars and tons of water and food we send to other countries that have natural disasters. We have millions of people that are starving and homeless that could use all of that aid

now it does. every country that does not like us thinks we are trying to over power them or take control

i also agree. i thnk that most of the wars we have entered have been pointless. most of them we have nothing to do with and the others that we do have to do have been over stupid situations

yes but i think that you pretty much have to work 40 hours a week to survive. Now a days everything is so exspensive that you have to work to live.

The Revolutionary War let other countries know that the US wasn't going to back down; the Spanish American war just showed that we were wreckless, didnt care about others and our own people

i agree. if we were imperialistic toward china, we would want all their land or want to take control of them. All we want is to get good from them

Entering the war for us was kind of pointless. All it did was cause problems and get a lot of our people killed.

yes but it was also the fact the most of it was faught very close to one another. A lot of the war was in the trenches and that was just a mess.

Yes and if it wasn't for christopher columbus there might still be the Native Americans and America might still be nice and wildlife everywhere. i think that America would be a better place besides the fact the none of us wouild probably be here right now.

I agree, and i do think they are in it mostly for money. yes they are in it for the land but the majority of it is for money.

I think spanish american war was kind of foolish. Yes the United States wanted more land but they shouldnt of had to fight for it. They could have made a treaty to share the land. I think that the US is way to greety.

i do not think that it was a good idea. yes it saved money but a life is worth a lot more than a canal.

I agree, i think that they staged it also so they had a reason to start a war. They wanted land and that was a motive for them to start a war.

I agree, I think that they wanted to get as much land as they could so they would fight against anyone and wouldnt stop until they won.

We wanted the land that the Spanish had so it was a easy way to make it look like we were under attack. It would make sense to create a reason to attack when we wanted land. We knew we could win and if we won we would get the land.

I think that the United States blew up the USS Maine own ship to give them a reason to fight the Spanish.

Progressives are taking are rights away. I think that they are taking jobs away by trying to outlaw the sale of alcohol and other products. I think that we need to make more jobs because the unemployment rate is a lot lower than it should be.

I disagree because an employer isnt going to fire a person who has been there a long time if that person does a good job and works hard everyday. I think the employer should have the right to fire somone if they are not working as hard. If an employee works but not to their full potential then they should be fired so a person that will work their hardest everyday can have the job.

True, but I dont think an employer is going to fire a worker for no reason because that is just another thing that the employer has to do. Most employers dont want to do anything. If a person gets fired then they probablly did somthing that got them fired.
